One year later, where are players in George Zimmerman trial?

Video archive: George Zimmerman verdict: What you didn't see

For two days the world waited for the verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman. Outside the Seminole County courthouse, more than 200 demonstrators were on hand to hear what would become of the man who shot Trayvon Martin.

For two days the world waited for the verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman. Outside the Seminole County courthouse, more than 200 demonstrators were on hand to hear what would become of the man who shot Trayvon Martin.

Life after the acquittal has been turbulent for Zimmerman, who's now 30. He moves among the homes of people who let him sleep on the couch, said his brother, Robert Zimmerman Jr. He's jobless and has been arrested once, accused of threatening his girlfriend with a gun, and put in handcuffs another time, accused of punching his father-in-law.

In both cases, authorities filed no criminal charges.

He left his wife, Shellie, a month after the trial and is in the midst of a divorce. He owes defense attorneys Mark O'Mara and Don West $2.5 million. He has sold paintings on eBay and toyed with but rejected the idea of taking part in a pay-per-view boxing match with rap artist DMX.

In a Spanish-language interview in February, Zimmerman told Univision that he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.

"I think his state of mind is better," said his brother, "but I would submit that he is a very traumatized person because he has had his liberty taken away from him."

After the five-week trial and verdict, Nelson, 60, took two days off and then went back to work, hearing civil and divorce cases in Sanford.

She has not commented publicly about the Zimmerman trial and is overseeing his defamation case against NBCUniversal Media LLC. Zimmerman sued the company 10 months after the shooting, accusing it of falsely reporting that he used a racial slur while talking to a police dispatcher the night of the shooting.

Nelson will preside over a hearing next week on NBC's request to dismiss the suit.

Defense attorney Mark O'Mara

The trial made O'Mara, 58, of Orlando a familiar name. He sold a boat and a car and got a business loan during the trial to cover expenses, he said Thursday, and is not yet financially whole. But the trial allowed him to expand his practice and won him a contract providing legal commentary on CNN.

His firm used to have five employees. Now there are 11, including someone in charge of media and marketing. He's also raised his hourly rate from $400 to $525.

O'Mara's greatest satisfaction, he said, is that he now speaks to bar associations and law schools and teaches attorneys what he's learned about the media, high-profile cases and social media.

O'Mara plans to write a book, he said — not about the case but about broader issues such as race, guns, the media and the criminal-justice system.

Former Sanford police Chief Bill Lee

Lee, 54, of Geneva is now working as a special agent for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in Orlando, earning $45,800 a year. He went without work as a law-enforcement officer for a year and a half, his career damaged by criticism over the way the Sanford Police Department handled the investigation into Trayvon's shooting.

Lee took a leave of absence a month after the shooting, saying he had become a distraction. He was fired three months later.

Lee grew up in Sanford. When he was named chief in 2011 for $102,000, he described the job as one he had long coveted.

Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin

Since the acquittal, Trayvon Martin's parents have campaigned against gun violence and "stand your ground" laws, in part through The Trayvon Martin Foundation they established.

The same month as the verdict, Tracy Martin, 47, attended a congressional hearing, urging measures to improve the opportunities of black boys and men. In the time since, the teen's parents, who are divorced and live in South Florida, have often spoken out at hearings, marches and rallies.

In December, The New York Times reported that Martinand Fulton, 48, met with publishers about a potential book about their son, exploring their shock and sorrow after his death. Last month, Fulton hosted a weekend retreat for mothers who have lost children to gun violence.

The couple earlier were paid $1 million-plus for their wrongful-death claim against the homeowners association where Zimmerman served as a Neighborhood Watch volunteer.

Rachel Jeantel

Rachel Jeantel, 20, the young South Florida woman Trayvon spoke to in the moments before his death, says she never expected the grilling she'd face at trial. The heated questioning from defense attorney Don West, and Jeantel's terse responses, demeanor and diction, drew scorn.

But others have since come to her aid. Radio host Tom Joyner supplied her with tutors and offered her a college scholarship, according to reports. Last month, she earned her high-school diploma, fulfilling a promise she made in Trayvon's memory. His mother, Sybrina Fulton, watched.

Seeing her there "was a relief," Jeantel said. "It was like ... Trayvon was there, saying, 'You did it, you did it. … You did what you're supposed to be doing.'" A year after the trial, Jeantel is more confident, eloquent and reflective than she was in the crucible of the witness stand.

"[My] main focus is getting a job and getting into college," she said, heaping praise on those who've helped her in the past year: "My tutors, family and my mentors, I'm learning every day from them. Every single day. ... This is my family, like another family I never asked for, that I got."

Benjamin Crump

The Zimmerman case put the attorney for Trayvon's family on a national stage, where he has become a sought-after civil-rights attorney and commentator, often taking cases that involve claims of profiling or unequal justice.

Crump, 44, of Tallahassee took up the case of Marlon Brown, run over by a DeLand police officer last year as he fled on foot. He also represented the family of 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson, whose body was found rolled up in a mat inside a Georgia high-school's gymnasium in January 2013.

Angela Corey

The Jacksonville-based state attorney who prosecuted Zimmerman has been under fire since his acquittal — and not just for losing this case. She is the subject of frequent protests demanding her ouster.

Though Michael Dunn was convicted on several attempted-murder counts, Corey's office failed to win a first-degree-murder conviction in its case against the man who shot 17-year-old Jordan Davis during a dispute over loud music.

Her aggressive prosecution of Marissa Alexander, the woman who says she fired a shot to back down her abusive husband during a fight, has drawn criticism and inspired a law expanding Florida's "stand your ground" law by legalizing warning shots.

Corey, 59, is also the subject of a lawsuit from an employee who says he was fired for revealing that her office had concealed evidence in the Zimmerman case.

The jury

These were the six women who decided Zimmerman's fate, and in the time since the verdict, they've mostly stayed out of the public eye, even though a March 21 court order made their names public.

They got together at Christmas and shared a meal, one juror told the Daily Mail.

Two made television appearances. The first was the pet lover, who told CNN that Zimmerman had a right to defend himself from Trayvon, who "just didn't know when to stop." That juror briefly signed with a book agent, who dropped her amid the criticism that followed.

Four of the other jurors issued a statement distancing themselves from her. One juror later told ABC that Zimmerman "got away with murder," though she also indicated that the jurors' hands were tied by the law.
